Late night dining in London - the best restaurants to grab an after-hours meal with The Night Tube

The Night Tube is finally on the way, kicking off on 19 August 2016 and bringing with it even more of a chance to stay in town for a late night dinner. With that in mind, we've rounded up some of the best places in London to enjoy a proper after hours dinner (which we've decided - for now - covers places still serving at least a partial kitchen menu after 11pm).

When are they open until? Restaurant open till midnight Mon-Sat, last table at 11pm.

The dish to order: Why not end the night with a proper blowout and go for a plate of fruits de mer. Go for Le Balthazar at £115.00 and you definitely won't go to sleep hungry (or maybe just "Le Petit" at £40). Alternatively, the beef fillet stroganoff for something more hearty (£19.50).

What's the late night menu? Both restaurants are open until 12.15am, Thursday to Sunday (the bar a little later)

The dish to order: It has to be the Peking duck - the ultimate late night snack. And if you're celebrating, then why not add caviar to the mix. Alternatively, the jasmine tea smoked pork ribs, which goes without saying.

The dish to order: When they say all day breakfast, what they mean is all day and all night - go for the Polo Bar special - bacon, Cumberland sausage, egg, beans and bloomer toast for under £7. And because there’s a 24 hour booze licence too, you can team that with tea or tequila.

When are they open until? Sunday - Wednesday until midnight, Thursday until 1am, Friday and Saturday until 2am.

The dish to order: While this goes somewhat against the advice of eating cheese late at night, if you DO have a late night pizza craving, this will definitely do the job. Spice things up with "Nduja, pickled peppers, red onion, scamorza". And if you have room after, pop up the road to the 24 hour Beigel Bake.

When are they open until? All of Sketch’s various restaurants and bars (with the exception of The Library) are open late - until 2am (Mon-Sat) and 12am (Sun). Last food orders from the full menu are 11pm Sun and Mon and 11.30pm the rest of the week.

The dish to order: Stay up even later with a ravioli of morels with a hint of coffee served with swiss chard gratin

When are they open until? The bar here is open until 1am Mon-Sat with last food orders at 11.45. On Sunday it’s open until 12am with last food orders at 10.45. For the last hour there’s a truncated menu on offer.

The dish to order: After 10.30pm, the menu changes to a "British bites" menu. That includes cuttlefish croquettes with wild garlic mayonnaise, chicken popcorn, crispy salmon skin with whipped smoked salmon, chips and curry sauce. So work your way through those.
